Ted Goslin was simply awesome. He played our neighborhood block party, and was really a hit with everyone, adults and kids alike. His music was laid back, relaxing, and overall enjoyable - it made the party so much better! Plus, his song list is incredible - check it out on his profile page. I got amazing kudos from the neighbors for hiring him, so thanks, Ted!

Ted was very professional and accommodating. Prior to the event he answered my emails and calls promptly. He arrived early to set up, delayed his start 10 minutes for our hula dancers and still performed for the full 3 hours. The music was great and added the perfect touch to the party.

I throw a building barbeque every year and had long wanted to try a steel drum player for the event, but with a mixed clientele from 20-70, I didn't know if the music would appeal to everyone. So, I hired Ted Goslin of Pure Steel to come for just two hours in the afternoon. As it turned out, we had about 75 people coming and going through the day and almost every single one of them commented to me on how "awesome" the steel drum music was, how well Ted played and how they wished he had been booked for longer. Well, next year he will be! I cannot recommend him, or the music enough. Just perfect for a summertime/poolside/ garden or barbeque event!!
